Why does polycystic ovary syndrome cause a big belly?

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine disorder. Many patients find that their abdomen is particularly fat, so why does polycystic ovary cause fat belly? What should I do? Why does polycystic ovary cause fat belly? Let's have a simple understanding and understanding of this issue. I hope the following points will be helpful to everyone!

Reason 1: Disordered sugar metabolism

A key feature of PCOS is insulin resistance, which results in compensatory hyperinsulinuria. In order to maintain normal glucose tolerance, glycolysis is disrupted, which makes it easy to develop complications such as obesity and diabetes.

When people gain weight, fat is most likely to accumulate in the abdomen, so the abdomen of polycystic patients appears larger. In addition, obesity can aggravate the symptoms of PCOS, leading to polarization.

Reason 2: Large ovarian cyst

Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome may have a swollen and enlarged abdomen, or they may suffer from large ovarian cysts.

Patients with polycystic ovary generally have excess androgen in their bodies, which is also one of the causes of large ovarian cysts. The biggest characteristic of large ovarian cysts is that they can be exacerbated by force. If they become malignant, they may also cause tenderness and pain, and even retroperitoneal irritation symptoms, ascites, etc.

What to do if polycystic ovary causes belly fat

1. Correct endocrine imbalance

Polycystic ovary syndrome causes a sudden enlargement of the belly, mainly due to a reduction in the level of male hormones in the body. Common Diane 35, Diane 35 is a contraceptive pill that is taken from the 5th day of the menstrual period and continued for 21 days. Menstruation will occur 3-5 days after the pill is stopped. It usually takes 2-3 cycles. It can effectively reduce the level of testosterone in the body. In addition, there are also Mafulong and hormone drugs, which all have the effect of lowering androgen.

2. Interference in lifestyle habits

Polycystic ovary disease causes belly fat, which requires adjusting lifestyle, that is, diet control and exercise therapy, which is the preferred treatment method. Especially for people with obesity, losing weight is the basis of all treatment.

What harm does polycystic ovary syndrome have on women's reproductive health?

1. Direct effects include menstrual disorders, infertility, acne, excessive hair growth, obesity, etc.

2. Infertility Due to long-term anovulation, the most obvious manifestation for women of childbearing age is infertility.

3. Endometrial hyperplasia: Due to the absence of ovulation, the uterine wall is stimulated by estrogen for a long time, the endometrium thickens, and the menstrual volume may increase at the beginning of menstruation, which manifests as imbalanced bleeding and may cause anemia in severe cases.

What's more serious is that the uterine wall without estrogen resistance grows too much, which is prone to endometrial hyperplasia, which may develop into endometrial cancer.

4. It is easy to cause the miscarriage rate of patients with diabetic polycystic ovary syndrome to increase by 2 times after pregnancy, and the incidence of hyperglycemia and hypertension in pregnant women to increase by 3-4 times. A study found that the incidence of hyperglycemia in pregnant women with polycystic ovary syndrome was around 40%.
